Admit viewers to direct seats or the broadcast, with direct and playback tokens - #1387
The coordinator decides, per /live connection, whether a viewer holds a direct seat or watches the broadcast only, and hands it the tokens for either.
Contract
Seats (src/fleet/coord/admission.rs). With a broadcast configured, --direct-capacity (also FLEET_DIRECT_CAPACITY, default 500, the measured elbow in fleet/renderer/README.md) connections hold a seat. Without a broadcast everyone is seated, as today. A closed connection's seat is kept 60 s for the page that reconnects with its ticket (/live?seat=<ticket>). A connection that arrives with every seat held is late for its whole life: it is told when a seat frees, and a reload is admitted afresh; no promotion mid-session.
The admission message, second on every connection (after hello) and again every 5 minutes: the seat ticket; for a seated viewer a direct token v1.<exp>.<viewer>.<HMAC-SHA256> under a key the coordinator makes at start; the broadcast's playback URL, signed as an ES384 JWT for a private IVS channel and bound to the page's origin (1 hour); for a late viewer locked, reason and seat_free.
claim_gpu from a late connection is refused unrecorded: a private GPU is a direct stream too.
The broadcast secret may carry playback_url, channel_arn and playback_key_pem.
The page parses and keeps the admission (core/protocol.ts, core/store.ts) so a deployed page reads the new message without counting it a protocol error; acting on it is the next PR.
ring becomes a direct dependency (already in the lockfile through rustls).
Renderers do not check the direct token yet; that enforcement is a later PR in the stack, landed after the page sends the tokens.
Downstream impact
Every /live connection receives one more message type. The page in this PR parses it. Without --broadcast-listen everyone is seated and the message only carries a direct token nothing checks yet.
Evidence
Unit tests (admission.rs): base64url against RFC 4648 vectors; a direct token valid until its expiry and only under its key (forged fields fail); seats up to capacity, the grace for a ticket, everyone seated without a capacity; the playback JWT's claims and its ES384 signature verified with the key pair's public key; non-P-384 keys refused.
a_viewer_past_the_direct_capacity_gets_the_broadcast_and_no_direct_token: two seated viewers' tokens validate under the key and name their viewer; the third is locked, has no direct token in any admission it receives, gets the broadcast URL, and its claim_gpu is refused.
a_closed_seat_is_kept_for_its_ticket_then_freed_without_promoting_anyone: within the grace a newcomer is late and the ticket's page is seated again; past it the connected late viewer gets seat_free: true and stays locked; the next connection is seated.
Two existing tests expect the admission as the second message.
Added configurable viewer seat limits when broadcast streaming is active. Viewers without a seat can still watch the broadcast, but cannot access the direct stream or claim GPU resources.
Returning viewers can reclaim a recently released seat. Viewers waiting for a seat are notified when one becomes available, but must reconnect to obtain it.
Admission details and access credentials refresh every five minutes; playback links can support private-channel authorization.
Documentation
Updated coordinator guidance for admission behavior and broadcast credential configuration.
…ack tokens
The coordinator decides per /live connection how it receives the image
(src/fleet/coord/admission.rs):
- Seats: with a broadcast, --direct-capacity (FLEET_DIRECT_CAPACITY, default
500, the measured elbow) connections hold a seat; without one everyone is
seated. A closed connection's seat is kept 60 s for a page that reconnects with
its ticket (/live?seat=<ticket>). A connection that arrives with every seat
held is late for its whole life: no promotion, told when a seat frees.
- An admission message, second on every connection and again every 5 minutes:
the seat ticket, a direct token for seated viewers (v1.<exp>.<viewer>.<HMAC>
under a key made at start), the broadcast's playback URL (an ES384 JWT for a
private IVS channel, bound to the page's origin, an hour), locked and reason
for a late viewer, seat_free, capacity.
- claim_gpu from a late connection is refused unrecorded.
- The broadcast secret may carry playback_url, channel_arn and playback_key_pem.
- ring becomes a direct dependency (already in the lockfile through rustls) for
the HMAC and the ES384 signature.
The page parses and keeps the admission (fleet/web core/protocol.ts, store.ts)
so a deployed page reads it; using it is the next PR.
PROTOCOL.md documents the message, the seat ticket and the flags; the design's
playback token renewal now matches (every 5 minutes, with the direct token).
Tests: admission unit tests (base64url, token validity and forgery, seats and
grace, ES384 JWT verified with the public key, bad keys);
a_viewer_past_the_direct_capacity_gets_the_broadcast_and_no_direct_token and
a_closed_seat_is_kept_for_its_ticket_then_freed_without_promoting_anyone
(test_fleet_coord); two existing tests now expect the admission second.
Fleet suites 201 passed, clippy clean; web typecheck, lint, 277 tests passed.

Walkthrough
The fleet coordinator now manages viewer seats and issues direct-stream and broadcast playback tokens. It sends admission details to browser clients, refreshes those details during live connections, and refuses GPU claims from late viewers.
Changes: Viewer admission
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Admission protocol and client state fleet/core/src/protocol.rs, fleet/web/core/protocol.ts, fleet/web/core/store.ts, fleet/web/core/test/store.test.ts, fleet/PROTOCOL.md
Rust and TypeScript define admission messages and token fields. The browser validates and stores admission updates. Tests cover valid and malformed messages; the protocol documentation describes message fields and viewer behavior.
Seat, token, and playback logic Cargo.toml, src/fleet/coord/admission.rs
The admission module manages seats, ticket reuse, direct-token validation, and optional ES384-signed playback. Its tests cover seat timing, token validity, and playback signing.
Live connection and coordinator integration src/cli/args.rs, src/fleet/coord/{broadcast.rs,live.rs,mod.rs}, tests/test_fleet_coord.rs, fleet/PROTOCOL.md, docs/fleet/ARCHITECTURE.md
The coordinator configures seat capacity and playback credentials, then sends and refreshes admission messages on live connections. It releases seats when connections end and refuses late viewers’ GPU claims. Integration tests and documentation describe the behavior and settings.

Reuse the admission seat ticket on coordinator reconnects.
WallClient.connect() always opens this.url, including after onclose schedules another connect(). This ignores the stored admission ticket. The protocol requires reconnects to use /live?seat=<ticket>; otherwise the old seat remains reserved for 60 seconds and the reconnect can become a late viewer when capacity is full.

<title>Generate and Sign IVS Playback Tokens - Amazon IVS</title>
<location>https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ivs/latest/LowLatencyUserGuide/private-channels-generate-tokens.html</location>
<excerpt>citeturn0search1 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: last week; Generate and Sign IVS Playback Tokens - Amazon IVS ... "aws:access-control-allow-origin": "<your-origin>", ... ivsPlayer.attachHTMLVideoElement(document.getElementById('video-player'));
Generate and Sign IVS Playback Tokens - Amazon IVS
# Generate and Sign IVS Playback Tokens
For details on working with JWTs and the supported libraries for signing tokens, visit jwt.io. On the jwt.io interface, you must enter your private key to sign tokens. The public key is needed only if you want to verify tokens.
## Token Schema
All JWTs have three fields: header, payload, and signature.
* The header specifies:
* `alg` is the signing algorithm. This is ES384, an ECDSA signature algorithm that uses the SHA-384 hash algorithm.
* `typ` is the token type, JWT.
`{
"alg": "ES384",
"typ": "JWT"
}`
* The payload contains data specific to Amazon IVS:
* `channel-arn` is a reference for the video-playback request.
* `access-control-allow-origin` is an optional field that can be used to restrict playback to a specified origin; i.e., to make a stream viewable from only a specified website. For example, you may want to prevent people from embedding the player on other websites. By default, playback is allowed on all origins. (Note that this restricts only the browser client; it does not restrict playback from a non-browser client.) This field may contain multiple origins, separated by commas. Wildcard domains are allowed: each origin may begin its hostname with * (example: https://*.amazon.com). If `strict-origin-enforcement` is `true`, at most 5 domains may be specified; otherwise, there is no maximum.
* `strict-origin-enforcement` is an optional field that can be used to strengthen the origin restriction specified in the `access-control-allow-origin` field. By default, the `access-control-allow-origin` restriction applies only to the multivariant playlist. If `strict-origin-enforcement` is enabled, the server will enforce a requirement that the requesting origin matches the token for all playback requests (including multivariant playlist, variant playlist, and segments). This means that all clients (including non-browser clients) will have to provide a valid origin-request header with each request. Use the `setOrigin` method to set the header in the IVS iOS and Android player SDKs. It is set automatically in web browsers except iOS Safari. For iOS Safari, you need to add `crossorigin="anonymous"` to the video element, to ensure that the origin request header is sent. Example: `<video crossorigin="anonymous"></video>`.
* `single-use-uuid` is an optional field which contains a valid universally unique identifier (UUID) that you generate as part of authoring the token. If you add this field and a UUID value, the associated token that you generate is invalidated once it is used to fetch a multivariant playlist and watch a stream. Single-use auth tokens make it more difficult for malicious users to share a stream on your private channels with other viewers. Note that when using the `single-use-uuid` claim, the maximum value for the `exp` claim is 10 minutes in the future.
* `viewer-id` is an optional field which contains an ID used for tracking and referring to the viewer to whom the token is granted. This does not indicate the length of time that the stream can be viewed. The token is validated when the viewer initializes playback, not throughout the stream. Enter this value as an integer type value.
Note that a Unix timestamp is a numeric value representing the number of seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z UTC until the specified UTC date/time, ignoring leap seconds. Different languages measure Unix timestamps in different units; e.g., JavaScript’s `Date.now()` returns the time in milliseconds. (See `exp` in the JWT RFC section 4.1.4.)
`{
"aws:channel-arn": "<channel_arn>",
"aws:access-control-allow-origin": "<your-origin>",
"aws:strict-origin-enforcement": true,
"aws:single-use-uuid": "<UUID>",
"aws:viewer-id": "<viewer_id>",
"aws:viewer-session-version": "<viewer_session_version>",
"aws:maximum-resolution": "SD" | "HD" | "FULL_HD",
"exp": <unix timestamp>
}`
* To create the signature, use the private key with the algorithm specified in the header (ES384) to sign the encoded header and encoded payload.
`ECDSASHA384(
base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +
base64UrlEncode(payload),
<private-key>
)`
## Instructions
1. Generate the token’s signature with the ES384 signing algorithm and a private key that is associated with one of your playback-key resources (see the `ECDSASHA384` example above).
2. Assemble the token.
`base64UrlEncode(header) + "." +
base64UrlEncode(payload) + "." +
base64UrlEncode(signature)`
3. Append the signed token to the playback URL as a query parameter.
`https://b37c565f6d790a14a0e78afaa6808a80.us-west-2.playback.live-video.net/
api/video/v1/aws.ivs.us-west-2.123456789.
channel.fbc789c1-2c56-4ce6-a30a-d99275dc4481.m3u8?token=<token>`
## Node.js Example
Below is one way to generate a token on the back end (via a microservice or serverless application) using Node.js.
`import jwt from "jsonwebtoken";
const getToken = () => {
const privateChannelArn = process.env.DEMO_PRIVATE_CHANNEL_ARN; // private channel ARN
const privateChannelPrivateKey = process.env.DEMO_PRIVATE_CHANNEL_PRIVATE_KEY; // playback private key
const payload = {
"aws:channel-arn": privateChannelArn,
"aws:access-control-allow-origin": "*",
"exp": Date.now() + (60 * 1000), // expires in 1 minute
};
const token = jwt.sign(payload, privateChannelPrivateKey, { algorithm: 'ES384' });
return token;
}
`
In your frontend application, you can retrieve this token and append it to the playback URL of the private channel, as shown below.
`const streamUrl = `https://b37c565f6d790a14a0e78afaa6808a80.us-west-2.playback.live-video.net/api/video/v1/aws.ivs.us-west-2.123456789.channel.fbc789c1-2c56-4ce6-a30a-d99275dc4481.m3u8?token.m3u8?token=${token}`
const ivsPlayer = IVSPlayer.create();
ivsPlayer.attachHTMLVideoElement(document.getElementById('video-player'));
ivsPlayer.load(streamUrl);
ivsPlayer.play();

Setting Up IVS Private Channels - Amazon IVS
# Setting Up IVS Private Channels
Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) offers customers the ability to create private channels, allowing customers to restrict their streams by channel or viewer. Customers control access to video playback by enabling playback authorization on channels and generating signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authorized playback requests.
Requiring playback authorization on a channel is optional. When a viewer tries to watch a stream, if the channel has authorization enabled, Amazon IVS verifies that the viewer has a valid playback token in the request. A playback token is a JWT that the Amazon IVS customer signs (with a playback authorization key) and includes with every playback request for a channel that has playback authorization enabled.

* Enable Playback Authorization on IVS Channels - Amazon IVS
Console InstructionsCLI InstructionsAPI Requests (Create and Update)
A channel’s authorization requirement can be configured when the channel is created or later (using an update operation). Note that the steps are the same whether you want to enable or disable playback authorization.
Note that playback restriction policies (such as geo-blocking) cannot be used simultaneously with playback authorization. If playback authorization is enabled for a channel, any configured playback restriction policies will be ignored. To enforce geo-restrictions on a private channel, validate the user's location within your token generation logic before issuing a playback token.
## Console Instructions
To enable authorization when creating a channel:
1. Open the Amazon IVS console. Choose your channel’s region if you are not already on it.
2. In the Get started box (top right), choose Create channel.
3. On the Channel create page, choose Custom configuration.
4. In the Playback authentication section, turn on Enable token-authentication requirement for video playback.
5. Follow the rest of the prompts to create a channel. (See Getting Started with IVS Low-Latency Streaming.)
To enable authorization by updating an existing channel:
1. Open the Amazon IVS console. Choose your channel’s region if you are not already on it.
2. In the left navigation menu, choose Channels.
3. Choose the checkbox for the channel you want to update, then choose Edit.
4. In the Playback authentication section, turn on Enable token-authentication requirement for video playback.
5. Click Save changes.
## CLI Instructions
To enable authorization when creating a channel:
`aws ivs create-channel --authorized --region <aws-region>`
You can omit `--region <aws-region>` if the region is in your local AWS configuration file.
Here is an example response. Note that `authorized` is `true`.

}
}`
To enable authorization by updating an existing channel:
`aws ivs update-channel --arn
arn:aws:ivs:us-west-2:693991300569:channel/742da049-fe9f-4f23-928e-c6753760a189
--authorized`
This is just an example; you must specify your own channel ARN after `--arn`. As when creating a channel, `authorized` is `true` in the update response.
## API Requests (Create and Update)
For usage information, see CreateChannel and UpdateChannel in the IVS Low-Latency Streaming API Reference.

<excerpt>citeturn0search3 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 2 weeks ago; If the JWT is verified, Amazon IVS plays the private stream for the viewer. ... This has two parts: a public key that AWS retains and a private key that you download. ... In the sections below, we describe how to make a channel private (enable playback authorization), generate and sign playback tokens, and work with playback key pairs.
Workflow for IVS Private Channels - Amazon IVS
# Workflow for IVS Private Channels
This diagram illustrates the workflow for setting up IVS private channels:
Image: The workflow for private channels: using a network request from the browser to fetch tokens.
1. When a viewer tries to load the webpage for a private stream, the browser requests an access token. (The customer provides the browser code to do this.)
2. The customer’s backend app receives the access-token request and determines whether that viewer should be authorized to view the stream. If yes, the backend generates a JWT, uses the customer’s private key to sign it, and returns the signed JWT in a playback request to the browser.
3. The browser loads the stream, using a request to the Amazon IVS player (or other player) SDK. The request contains the stream playback URL and the signed JWT.
4. Amazon IVS uses the customer’s public key to verify that the JWT was signed using the correct private key.
5. If the JWT is verified, Amazon IVS plays the private stream for the viewer.
Customers are responsible for creating:
* The browser code to request access tokens.
* The backend server app that generates and signs JWTs.
* A playback authorization key pair. This has two parts: a public key that AWS retains and a private key that you download. With the private key, you sign the JWTs that authorize access to your private channel.
The method described above — using a network request from the browser to fetch tokens — is not the only way to implement playback authorization. Alternately, customers could send the signed playback tokens in the initial webpage, to reduce the number of network round trips that a viewer needs to make.
In the sections below, we describe how to make a channel private (enable playback authorization), generate and sign playback tokens, and work with playback key pairs.</excerpt>

# Setting Up IVS Private Channels
Amazon Interactive Video Service (IVS) offers customers the ability to create private channels, allowing customers to restrict their streams by channel or viewer. Customers control access to video playback by enabling *playback authorization* on channels and generating signed JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for authorized playback requests.
Requiring playback authorization on a channel is optional. When a viewer tries to watch a stream, if the channel has authorization enabled, Amazon IVS verifies that the viewer has a valid playback token in the request. A playback token is a JWT that the Amazon IVS customer signs (with a playback authorization key) and includes with every playback request for a channel that has playback authorization enabled.

# How Session Protection Works
When you request a playback URL with a valid playback token, IVS creates an authorized session and returns playlist and segment URLs that are unique to that session. These subsequent URLs do not contain a visible token parameter, but they are still tied to the authorized session.
Mechanisms are in place to mitigate sharing of session-bound URLs while still allowing legitimate usage patterns (e.g., mobile users switching between WiFi and cellular). If IVS detects unnatural usage, the authorized session is revoked and playback stops for all clients using that session.

Reject headerless clients when private playback is enabled.
A /live request without Origin passes origin_allowed and reaches Gate::message. Signed playback then omits aws:access-control-allow-origin. IVS allows that token from all origins by default, which violates the repository contract that private playback is bound to the page origin.
Suggested fix
let origin = headers.get(header::ORIGIN).and_then(|v| v.to_str().ok());
let host = headers.get(header::HOST).and_then(|v| v.to_str().ok());
+ if origin.is_none()+ && matches!(+ app.cfg.gate.playback.as_ref(),+ Some(super::admission::Playback::Signed(_))+ )+ {+ return (StatusCode::FORBIDDEN, "origin required for private playback").into_response();+ }
if !origin_allowed(origin, host, &app.cfg.allowed_origins) {

Review comment at @src/fleet/coord/admission.rs around lines 245 - 270:
Update the /live request handling before origin_allowed and Gate::message to
reject requests with no Origin when playback is configured as Playback::Signed.
Preserve the existing origin validation and behavior for other playback modes.

The merge of origin/main joined both branches' tests at the end of
test_fleet_coord.rs wrongly; this is the admission branch's file with main's two
changes applied (a shutdown-write assertion and the borrowed-tile test).
Fleet suites: 207 passed.

Stacked on: feat/broadcast-push (PR #1385)
The coordinator decides, per
/liveconnection, whether a viewer holds a direct seat or watches the broadcast only, and hands it the tokens for either.Contract
src/fleet/coord/admission.rs). With a broadcast configured,--direct-capacity(alsoFLEET_DIRECT_CAPACITY, default 500, the measured elbow in fleet/renderer/README.md) connections hold a seat. Without a broadcast everyone is seated, as today. A closed connection's seat is kept 60 s for the page that reconnects with its ticket (/live?seat=<ticket>). A connection that arrives with every seat held is late for its whole life: it is told when a seat frees, and a reload is admitted afresh; no promotion mid-session.hello) and again every 5 minutes: the seat ticket; for a seated viewer a direct tokenv1.<exp>.<viewer>.<HMAC-SHA256>under a key the coordinator makes at start; the broadcast's playback URL, signed as an ES384 JWT for a private IVS channel and bound to the page's origin (1 hour); for a late viewerlocked,reasonandseat_free.claim_gpufrom a late connection is refused unrecorded: a private GPU is a direct stream too.playback_url,channel_arnandplayback_key_pem.core/protocol.ts,core/store.ts) so a deployed page reads the new message without counting it a protocol error; acting on it is the next PR.ringbecomes a direct dependency (already in the lockfile through rustls).Renderers do not check the direct token yet; that enforcement is a later PR in the stack, landed after the page sends the tokens.
